The bacterial microbiome of psyllids has been studied for decades, with a strong focus on the primary and secondary endosymbionts capable of providing essential amino acids for the insects' diet and therefore playing a key role in the insects' ability to

Characterization of the bacterial communities of psyllids associated with Rutaceae in Bhutan by high throughput sequencing [PDF]
Background Several plant-pathogenic bacteria are transmitted by insect vector species that often also act as hosts. In this interface, these bacteria encounter plant endophytic, insect endosymbiotic and other microbes.

Vibrational behavior of psyllids (Hemiptera: Psylloidea): Functional morphology and mechanisms.
Vibrational behavior of psyllids was first documented more than six decades ago. Over the years, workers have postulated as to what the exact signal producing mechanisms of psyllids might be but the exact mechanism has remained elusive.

Diversification of Legume-Feeding Psyllids (Hemiptera, Psylloidea) and Their Host Plants (Leguminosae, Genisteae) [PDF]
Psyllids ('jumping plant lice') are small phytophagous insects that are related to aphids, scales and whiteflies (Hemiptera, sternorrhyncha). Psyllids are highly host specific, occurring on one or a few closely related hosts, and they predominantly feed ...

Current and potential threat of psyllids (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) on eucalypts [PDF]
The introduction of Australian psyllids to non-native ranges across the globe is continually increasing. This is due to an increase in global trade and human movement, exacerbated by climate change.

Vibrational communication in Psyllids
Psyllids are small insects that can vector causal agents of serious plant diseases, such as greening in citrus and zebra chip disease in potatoes. Several invasive psyllid species are expanding their geographic range, but there are few pest management
